Question

If p varies inversely as q and p =8 when q=10,find p when q=4

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

When two numbers vary inversely, they always multiply to the same product, in this case, it is 80, because it is 8 x 10(product of two known values of p and q). This means, for q = 4, we can write:

p * 4 = 80

This means that p is equal to 20.
